Lizard Found! – Selected Reptiles and Amphibians from the New Jersey Pine Barrens

Sure enough, some lizards have been observed as the summer has heated up in Southern New Jersey. The gray color and line pattern on the back indicates this is a female Northern Fence Lizard. Males of the species (Sceloporus undulatus hyacinthinus) are brown with no or a minimal pattern on their backs. No salamanders have been sighted – yet.
